Ahhh good old 'set paste'. The setting that has turned away so many. When I watch a novice coworker struggle with vim, the breaking point usually comes when they try to paste directly into insert node. That may be the most valuable of all commands in this discussion.

Does vim 8 still not have bracketed paste by default?

Bracketed paste appears to be a third party plugin. I have no reason to believe it is has been rolled into an official Vim release.
